Bismarck-Mandan Bicycle and Pedestrian PlanThis will be the Bismarck-Mandan region’s first-ever Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan. The purpose of the plan is to guide investment in community sidewalks, trails, and roads to make bicycling and walking a safe and comfortable, and reliable choice for all residents. The plan will also address encouragement, education, and enforcement policies to support widespread use of our network. The plan will focus on near-term solutions that can be implemented in the next five years.

Healthier Vending OptionsA key strategy for obesity prevention is improving access to healthy foods and beverages. Unfortunately, it can be difficult at times to find healthy options when on the go. Vending machines offer the convenience of a quick snack, but the selection of healthy options can be limited. Applying nutrition standards for foods and beverages in vending machines can improve access to healthier selections.
